ShadowKamui:Rincewind53: ShadowKamui: Then you need to seriously seek help for either blackout memory loss and/or schizophrenia. Because everything you just reposted posted directly contradicts the crap your wannabe lawyer personality posted.

Remember this is the same industry that told the Supreme Court, in the early 1980's, with a straight face, that there should be a $3 surcharge added to every blank VCR tape sold in America and that money should be given directly to them. A failure to do so, the industry swore, would mean that Hollywood studios and TV production companies would be driven out of business by the end of the decade
